Honey, what is this...what are you doing?
Hey there! So you found me again! What am I up too this time. Like my other blog, this is a new adventure! Life is full of adventures and trying new things...right!?! So here is what I am doing at this time! I am researching living on a raw food diet! Now this is not some fad diet that you do and then just go off of. This is a lifestyle change.
Raw food is about eating things that are fresh from Mother Nature, herself. Who knows better then your mama, right? I have been thinking about this for a while and read a couple of books. I feel that my eating habits and just my habits in general are not that great.
You see, friends, I am a junk food Junkie! Like Heroin addicts, I am always looking for my next fix. McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza...you name it I will basically consume it! I also smoke, drink, and do the hoochiekoo! (okay so that last part isn't that bad) I know this sounds really drastic! That is why I am taking the time to make the decisions to change that. I will be transitioning into raw foods as a lifestyle.
So what is Raw Food? Well it is anything that is raw! Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sprouts. It is about cleaning the body of the years of abuse that I have put into it. I know that there are some down sides to raw food as well. The lack of meat and dairy will have some consequences that I am making myself aware of.
My overall plan at this time is to be fully transitioned into raw food by July 1. Originally it was going to be June 1, but I need to get some equipment before that, i.e. juicers, food processor. (p.s. if you know where to get them cheap let me know).
Why am I doing this? First because I am at a weight that I cannot live with. I have tried very hard to make changes; I believe that if I just do a complete overhaul of my habits I will have the ability to change. I know this won't be easy, seeing as I will have to make food for myself. I do know that I will most likely save money, which is huge. I also believe that growing my own food will give a sense of accomplishment.
There are some other things that I am doing this for as well. I feel that food affects mood and mental ability. Since I have a Mental Illness (GAD); I want to see if this helps me control that. There are many people who have stated that you not only do through a physical detox but a mental one as well.
I am not looking forward to that aspect of the change. I am kind of scared of what might come up for me! However, that is why I am keeping this blog. I want you all to see how this changes my life. I am not advocating anyone take on this plan of action, but just see how it affects me. (a little selfish that way)
So here is too what is coming. As I transition, I will keep you up today on the information that I find useful and my progress to the goal!
